Michigan: Trump reclaims this state, final results revealed

Michigan was a coveted statein view of the American presidential election with its 15 electors. This territory has swung into the camp of Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has won the American presidential election in Michigan. The final results according to the AP agency give him 49.8% against 48.3% for the Democratic candidate. He therefore adds 15 electors to his camp, even if he is already declared the winner. He widens the gap with Kamala Harris with this new Swing State. This is a coup and a shift, since during the last presidential election, Michigan had preferred the Democratic camp to Donald Trump. Kamala Harris was counting on this state, and the other two of the “Blue Wall”, namely Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, to win the election, but the three decided otherwise.

In this state, the vote of the Arab-Muslim community, usually acquired by the Democratic camp, was highly coveted and this electorate threatened to fail Kamala Harris to “punish” the Democratic administration of Joe Biden for its positions on Israel and the war in the Middle East. That's probably partly what happened.
